A very restless night. A
combination of very painful sunburn and torrential rain kept me
awake for much of the night. We eventually got up shortly after 9am,
and after a quick bit of brekkie went out cataloguing and delivering
orders to the masses. They love it. A shame it was raining, but you
can't have everything.
Back home, a cream cake
for dinner (diet, what diet?) and then off to Folkestone to
see the birthday girl. Where have the years gone? I remember her
being born. I remember four hours of screaming on the first time we
were both left alone together. I remember being called in to see the
teacher after only three days at school. I remember the endless
stream of letters of complaint from the school. But despite a shaky
start she's not turned out a bad 'un.
She seemed well, and she
made the tea. And after an hour exchanging insults we left them to it
and set off on our way. Via Morrison’s to stock up on assorted
shopping before coming home again. Once home I moved my car a few
yards. People round our way have this obsession with being parked
exactly outside their house. If they could park a few yards up or
down then we could get so many more cars parked along the road, but
not many people seem to be at home to common sense.
Bearing in mind I got
sunburn yesterday, the weather today was odd. Continual rain and very
cold was the order of the day. It shouldn't be this cold in June. I
then spent a little while doing some editorial stuff to my on-going
novel. After a couple of hours I got just over a quarter of the way
through. In a week or so it should be ready for proof-reading. One or
two of my loyal readers have volunteered for this task over the last
few weeks, and I shall soon be in touch and smiling hopefully.
After tea "er
indoors TM" went bowling. I was originally
planning to go to a film night (on a Sunday for no apparent
reason), but at the last minute I decided against going. I wasn't
feeling on top form; I was decidedly cold and shivery, and the
thought of being out until nearly midnight didn't appeal. Perhaps too
much sun yesterday?
So I did some ironing and
settled myself in front of Willy Wonka instead...
Count me in as a reviewer! :)
